BR 2-16: Baba Yaga the Flying Witch

I read "Baba Yaga the Flying Witch"
The main character is a little girl who names Tasha and a flying witch who called Baba Yaga.

Tasha lived in the forest. Her mather was ill and she died. When she died, she gave a litle doll to Tasha. Her mother said the doll helps when you are in trouble. But it can use only one time.

Later, her father married. Tasha's new mather was so spiteful. One day she made Tasha to go to Baba Yaga's hut. Baba Yaga is a witch, so Tasha used the doll. The doll said You must bring ham and bread. And she went to the witch's house. She wanted to eat her. In the witch's hut, Tasha gave ham to witch's black cat. Tha cat gave mirror and comb to Tasha, and the cat told her how to run away.

After that, she run away from the witch. But the witch's black dog waiting her. Then she gave him bread. The witch was notice that she run away and she chased her. Tasha throwed the mirror. The mirror become a wide river. The witch drank all the water and chase Tasha again. Next, Tasha throwed the comb. It become a huge mountain. Tha witch ate the mountain. Her teeth is iron. She ate it and said I can't fly. So she gave up to chase Tasha.

Tasha comes her home. Her father worried about her. She told him "Stepmother sent me to Baba Yaga's hut" The stepmother never came back forever.

I like this story, because this story is fantasy. I thihk that fantasy is most interesting.
